On my horse, he’s speeding up
My eyes watering my grip loosening
I’m falling forward, my voice screaming
I’m on the sand, my eyes streaming

I lie still for a second with drums in my ears
I’m starting to shake, it’s cold not fear
Are you okay, they shout
I really don’t know I hope this lesson’s over, I just want to go

A hand stretches out, I’m up on my feet
Covered in sand, not very neat
He’s stood in front of me with a sad look
He didn’t mean it
He just got spooked

I’m back in the saddle my heart beats in my ears
My face is dry, no more tears
Well done they shout
Always face your fears…
